That what I am using as I don't have a lifestyle magazine to hand.
The front cover of this magazine has many instances of direct address which are showing the reader what they should read because they want to become aware of what they are reading. Straight away at the top of the page it says "your new favourite jeans - find them on page 39" this is straight away telling the reader that they like the jeans when they haven't even seen them, this is an attempt to get the reader to look at the jeans decide if they want them or not then decide if their going to buy them. Again under the titles it says "your guide to gorgeous" this will attract people who are aspiring to be gorgeous and want fashion tips to look gorgeous. Towards the right side of the page theirs a title that talks about how some woman has a secret then it says it's not what you think this gets the audience guessing and wanting to read that article so if they haven't bought the magazine they might be temped to buy it. Their is a quiz question title towards the bottom of the page which readers might get interested about, question the self about and maybe even buy the magazine as result of said quiz title because people are really curious about the selfs others and celebrities in particular. Although it doesn't mention celebrities in that part from the front cover you can guess that there is bound to be information on celebs.

Lifestyle Magazines: layout 200 words

The layout of the front cover is layer out with obviosly the title at the top, stories down either side,especially the left, and a model in the middle. The title is at the top because of the way magazines could be stacked and displayed it shows the title clearly and helps people find it easier when looking for it. The stories around the outside are mainly going down the left hand side but are also near the top. This maybe because this magazine is a top shelf magazine and they are stacked differently or because the story's are places in order of importance. By order of importance I mean how the story's are set out. Top left in the biggest, brightest font is one story then it goes down to a slightly darker colour and slightly smaller font then again to the next story, then it proceeds to the right hand side all the titles are the same colour and size this could show these stories are considered all if equal importance. The title is written in big bold font with half of it written in human writing to perhaps set the tone/ mood of the magazine in general, from what if an tell this magazine is quite chatty.
